The Marriage Proposal: On a Rocky Ledge with A View Susan Fusco- Fazio Our first home together was in Cohasset, Massachusetts, with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from the large bay window in the living room. There was a wood stove for heat and a small kitchen with a small refrigerator. We had been living together for three years with only a toaster oven, hot plates, and a convection oven to bake in. Finally, we graduated to a real stove and oven that I must have talked the landlord into getting for us. We turned the bedroom into an art studio space and hid our double bed behind a fabric curtain in the foyer. Our rental apartment was one of three that existed within a large stone mansion at 430 Atlantic Avenue, on a prestigious scenic coastal road. Paul and I lived on the second floor which afforded us wonderful wooded and water views from every window. We reveled in our ocean abode: inviting friends, family, and neighbors over for drinks, music, and summer beach days at nearby Sandy Beach. We spent much of our free time outside in nature; Paul running and biking along the winding seaside roads, and me setting up my easel and painting the sky views over the sea, the rocky beaches, and the salty lagoon in the backyard of the majestic house we were blessed to live in.
